this is a bit too shimmer for me, but it is great cuz it's easy to control the colour. your first coat woukd be very shimmer, hard to see the colous, but your second coat, you'll see the colour, the red shiney pink. really waterly texsture, not sticky as chemical glosses. the only point is that the smell is not good,,, kind of stinky,(sorry) but overall totally okay. good stuff.
